ISO 14189 Detection of Sulfite-Reducing Bacteria on Packaging: Eurolabs Testing Service

The detection of sulfite-reducing bacteria (SRB) on packaging is a critical aspect of ensuring product safety and preventing contamination. The International Organization for Standardization (ISO) has developed the standard ISO 14189:2018, which outlines the requirements for detecting SRB on packaging materials.

Legal and Regulatory Framework

The legal and regulatory framework surrounding SRB detection on packaging is governed by various international and national standards. In Europe, the European Unions (EU) food safety regulations require manufacturers to ensure that their products are safe for consumption. The EUs General Food Law Regulation (EC) No 178/2002 sets out the principles of food law, including the need for manufacturers to ensure that their products are safe and comply with relevant regulatory requirements.

International and National Standards

The following standards apply to SRB detection on packaging:

  • ISO 14189:2018 - Detection of sulfite-reducing bacteria (SRB) on packaging materials
  • ASTM E2569-17 - Standard Practice for Sampling and Testing Packaging Materials for Sulfur-Reducing Bacteria
  • EN ISO 16167:2015 - Packaging - Determination of the presence or absence of sulphate-reducing bacteria
  • TSE 1172 - Packaging - Detection of sulfite-reducing bacteria (SRB)
  • Standard Development Organizations

    The development and maintenance of standards is overseen by standard development organizations (SDOs). In this case, the SDOs responsible for SRB detection on packaging are:

  • ISO (International Organization for Standardization)
  • ASTM International
  • European Committee for Standardization (CEN)
  • Turkish Standards Institution (TSE)
  • Standard Evolution and Updates

    Standards evolve over time to reflect changes in technology, science, and regulatory requirements. The standard development process involves a collaborative effort between experts from industry, academia, and regulatory bodies.

    Specific Standard Numbers and Scope

    The following specific standards relate to SRB detection on packaging:

  • ISO 14189:2018 - Detection of sulfite-reducing bacteria (SRB) on packaging materials
  • Scope: This standard specifies a method for detecting the presence or absence of sulphate-reducing bacteria (SRB) on packaging materials.

  • ASTM E2569-17 - Standard Practice for Sampling and Testing Packaging Materials for Sulfur-Reducing Bacteria
  • Scope: This standard provides a practice for sampling and testing packaging materials to determine their susceptibility to sulfur-reducing bacteria.

    Standard Compliance Requirements

    Compliance with relevant standards is mandatory in various industries, including:

  • Food packaging
  • Pharmaceutical packaging
  • Cosmetic packaging
  • Failure to comply with these standards can result in product recalls, regulatory fines, and damage to brand reputation.
